I bought a RIA Compact .45 and just received my new High Noon Holster Split Decision.

If you remember from previous pics, I was able to conceal a SIG P229 and a fullsize Springfield 1911. So I think you should know that this pistol disappears. Much better than expected. In fact, I took a nap in it and forgot that the pistol was still holstered.

I don't button it all the way up normally I have a cuple button ups were the buttons are sewed on, the velcro holds the shirt together so I draw is quick.... practice practice..... This is one way I carry, I mostly use my IWB crossbreed supertuck

That RAMI setup is pretty cool. I've never seen anyone carry at half-cock, but it is feasible.

I've never owned a 1911. All my auto-loaders have been DA/SA. The difference with the RAMI is that it doesn't have a decocker. I'm used to the first shot being DA, so the half-cock option seemed a good compromise between cocked-'n-locked and hammer resting on the firing mechanism. It shortens the DA pull by 25% to 50% (haven't taken precise measurements), and I don't have to learn how to make fartin' around with a safety second-nature.

I carry my other DA/SA guns with hammer all the way down and safety disengaged, so I wouldn't be uncomfortable doing that with the RAMI, but I am curious, why would there be any question as to the feasibility of carrying half-cocked instead? Is there some disadvantage carrying half-cocked over carrying hammer-down that I haven't foreseen?
